The Insightful Scribe

The sky was crystal blue and the sun’s heat radiated off my back. Out of nowhere I heard it… the deep rumbling of the roll of thunder reverberated throughout the pines. Unexpectedly I looked up, but there was not a cloud in sight. I heard it again as it grew louder and deeper as though penetrating the earth. It was only then that I realized this enormous sound was coming from the beast that lay before me. Even laying down he was magnificent and formidable. His golden mane fell wildly over his shoulders and his warning alerted me to his presence. The chain-link fence was no match to hold this ferocious animal if he were to lunge. I stepped back respecting his territory still amazed at the magnitude of his grumble.

It was a moment of revelation for me realizing The Lion of Judah displayed the same traits as this caged carnivore. When the Lion of Judah roars, He takes authority over what is rightfully His. It was His voice echoing “enough” that caused my wandering to cease. He is a relentless pursuer of His offspring and He hunted me down to the depths of darkness and with one swift swipe, He hurled me into His marvelous light then protected me with His righteous anger. He is the king adorned in majesty and one day He will return and take dominion over all His territory. The thing that astonishes me the most is… this fierce lion that rescued me is the same big cuddly cat where I lay my weary head, resting in His peace and soaking in His glory.

The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion, But his favor is like dew on the grass. Proverbs 19:12
